## Abstract During adaptation to an increase in ambient salinity (2โ20 ppt) the estuarine clam __Rangia cuneata__ enlarges the pool of free amino acids in adductor muscle fibers by more than fiveโfold (>300 ฮผM/gm dry wt). The process can occur under anaerobic conditions, but oxygen is critical to s

## Abstract During adaptation to low salinity (from 20 to 2 ppt), the estuarine clam __Rangia cuneata__ reduces the size of a pool of free amino acids in adductor muscle fibers, presumably to control cell volume. The levels of both free amino acids and ammonia in the blood increase, but the rise in
